the, the, the, the headlines your analogy, international approximate al, shut off a l. giovanni says those who protest is power in syria, committing a quote, graves and consequences are on the way to meantime is a case of mass executions across syria for the minority religious group in the process. and in the west of the nation, those loyal to us side of the gun down and it was violent since the government was over pro. meantime is all about the money as the us pulls back on, it's a to ukraine. america's military industrial complex looks to the you with a prime customer to buy those weapons needed to keep the war machine going. the,

all right, i'll guess dental respondents as dining by, in the wings to join us during this live our from most or so i'll top story and to syria, we go, we're here on a t with a fractured nation, has seen a violent protest erupt. it's a new leader who of course, was celebrated by the west of a touring bush allah side. and he was of course, rewarded with the removal of a $10000000.00 bounty off his head when he issued a chilling warning to those that oppose his new government. in damascus and why not going to be how that by this you have committed a grave send that cannot be forgiven, and the response has come to you for which you have no patience. so hasten to turn in your weapons and yourselves before it's too late. syrians, the world has seen your longing for your country. fighting broke out thursday in the mediterranean coast, cities of latasha and talk to us with a portly hundreds of debts. and this comes off the government forces laid siege on protesters belonging to the aloe wide minority religious group. it's estimated that they are represent 10 percent of serious population. but i'm next to disturbing

images coming your way because of the following footage. are circulating online right there. it's showing me off. some of the government forces campaign, essentially bodies strewn along the roadside or middle east textbook. ready out mass and he told us here at archie, it was predictable, didn't organization with the roots and all kind of would rule through 5. it's i think it is quite clear that you can take a man out of the sky the about you cannot take out the car the out of a man. and in this case, i refuse to call the curtains says appointed president of syria. i might have shut off by his name. he is a still of my mother, giovanni, and he's trying to cover in the different components or room over the different components of these events society, wisdom mentality of kind of the day for this is creating gloves and vertical divisions into society. because in the mind of the, these current president of syria, the, of them, how about the to allow me,

they are the 1st class citizens and 2nd class citizens. and if you don't belong to died, eulogy of the last are fun, then you were being persecuted. and in this case, it's quite clear that the violence a lot talk here is secondary and motivated. and i do believe this is perpetrated deliberately against the otherwise community. because the deadline is arriving into power. i truly believe that there is no serious person who, but who believe that he can, who's over syria. but rather she was the point that there in order to facilitate the about tonight, is ation of syria. and in this case, after months of proof, locations of the months of keep nothings killing somebody, executions the remnants of the former, see an army. they have rules against these so called h t. s. ports us and they have no organize themselves. and their waging protects against these new straw elements, including martha and national terrace from all around the world, including from the week or a turkey and other places. in this case,

i slightly disagree with the classification and the description of this conflict that this, those people who are fighting against the so called age, the estimated tends, are a south morgan is because we also have left the country and left the military in, in syria. keep it straight in the eyes of the soldiers. he betrayed the army. therefore, i believe i saw it turns to celia. she will not be accepted by the same soldiers who are now fighting against the most uh elements. and this is in the same context we, we can put it in the same context of these right. expansion inside syria is really is expanding inside city and trying to portray it says, as the savior of the minorities, it's extending a hand to the drills community to the curtis community and not with this persecution against it. otherwise, this is going to end up in the same way is what i can present. it says as the mandate power of a savior of the source and the kurds. and now the lower it's in the close the line . i'll see the idea of quoting also for an international protection. and the reason

for it is these persecution. why does this persecution stops the people doing up needs for international protection because people can just continue with their lives. but we have hundreds of thousands of savings last they have jobs and they have to be kicked out of their jobs because they used to work for the government. always the government. well interestingly enough, israel as defense ministers come out to suddenly slammed the mass coastal, committing atrocities against civilians and the nations new leader apparently isn't bullying anyone with his makeover and watched them come out. gilani took off his gala by a put on a suit and presented a moderate facade. now he has removed the mask, revealing his true face, a g hottest terrace from the outside of school, committing atrocities against the all the white civilian population. we will ensure that southern syria remains demilitarized and free of threats, and we will protect the local drew's population. anyone who harms them will face

our response. my colleague and you know, they always been speaking with a pair of guests about the college on the streets of syria and how the radical islam ethridge treatment, damascus, is taking a minority groups in the country a for. and those are willing to syria right now. and this is of course for the silly and smells acceptable. i mean, especially now that the revenge is going on on the l. y community, but it's not only the otherwise community. it's also the christians, it's the drew's. it's supposed to be also the courts in the north. i've seen the images, i heard people who were outside from that and what, what happens. i mean people were shocked people would. busy the torture, it's a woman. children, ma'am. it doesn't matter. the people their hopes, it's what i heard, what they telling me that at least maybe they can have some protection from the russian because, you know, there's no other force around who can predict them. because israel is the therapies are there and they are both supporting. do you have is there?

so it's a very unfortunate situation right now. the new regime wants to establish, it says it wants to centralize the government, eh, and i see that it starts it from the uh, from the leak is the. busy size uh which is the and then the yellow light coming news. the lighting was and the ceiling democratic forces in the stuff with, for us is what's happening now is for me and expect adults. com. the us claim syria is quote, know, there are mess even us. donald trump labeled to a hostile takeover. what's your sense of best cut the u. s. choose this, the heart of the conflict after years of involvement. so i don't think so, because 1st of all they are supporting or they were supporting the goods, you know, the s b s. so they are both already there. i don't know how many americans are still on the ground a 2nd to the day. are you buying parts of syria?

they steal the oil that's already known for years and years. so of course the new administration thinks all okay, that's okay. you know, we get the oil from there. and i mean, is there a problem because us, it's now syria, but i must rates. and i think this is what this will happen. the whole area will be on fire again. who can we say are the winners and losers from the revolution on its aftermath? and the sides are g, was an episode, episode of stability in syria. it'd be for this other game either. syria was almost a civil more men include that tossed the or coon black or when we're going to be full of the vision was this published a, you'll see that the a b r up countries awfully well with the, with the internal affairs of, of syria and must be expected in the syria. now, it will not be a, let's say, the liberal democrats, because you have other kinds of authority tell you,

is the mind i will suspect, eh, eh, may just see more also come to europe. if the things go like this. well, from serving a life sentence to is unexpected freedom mohammed alma lies a palestinian, the man who had been behind is already boss and was released as a part of a harsher swap from us and with us here at all too. he shared with us the details of his life in captivity as we learned about the war in its earliest days. in the 1st days of its outbreak, however, was subjected to an unprecedented assault by the personal socrates. and this was essentially a governmental decision, not merely an independent initiative by the prison authorities, but rather a government sanctioned directive to clamp down on the prisoners and their achievements, the games which they had secured over the course of history. i can say that was the 2nd war, waged against us inside the prison, under the premise that palestinian prisoners bear responsibility for what happened . at least from that perspective. when the process of prisoner released the started,

we did not know the details. who would be 1st, who would come next? all the specifics of the truce, meaning the details of the 1st phase. personally, i found out that i was going home and that i was part of the 1st phase of 25 release to prison is exactly 2 days before my release through a lawyer as visit. he came to the prison and informed me saying, congratulations, you're going home, you will be with your family and part of the 1st group. however, even during lawyer visits and this happened to me personally and to many other prisoners, the lawyers with threatened being told they were strictly forbidden from sharing any news with the prisoners at the moment to release when the january cease, fire agreement was signed and the names of those to be freed were announced and we were being prepared for our lease. we were subjected to brutal treatment without any reason. simply because they wanted revenge. they didn't want the release to happen and they expressed it openly saying you're going home over out dead bodies. as a result, we faced brutal beatings. i left the section where i was being held and from that

to the waiting rooms, which they call a method, not in hebrew, the entire way i was beaten. and it wasn't just me personally. every palestinian prisoner released from any prison. whether from ramon or nelfa was subjected to the same treatment and it became even more savage when we arrived at ofa, which was the central holding facility. upon arrival, we were met with a barrage of insults, vowels, degrading courtesies, and beatings for no reason. the tools still i was beaten so severely that my head was split open. i told the jailer i can't walk because the way they forced us to move through the car door until we reached the section where we were supposed to be held before i release. it was an extremely long distance and we were forced to walk in a crouched position and coughed with our hands placed on top of our heads. this severely restricted our movement, making it nearly impossible to walk any further. we started collapsing to the ground and they dragged us across the car door. the physical assault was brutal. i personally only recovered from the intense pain in my body. some time after my

release, some prisoners suffered broken bones. in my case, my muscles was severely damaged. they had an insatiable appetite for excessive revenge to the point where we were left in shock and disbelief. i understand that you are the enemy that you are a jayla and that your goal is to break me psychologically morally physically and even materially, but not to this extent, from the level of torture and humiliation we endured in the final days before i release was unprecedented. speaking for myself, after 23 years in prison, this time plus the 6 years i had said before, i had never experienced in a thing like it for he i'm. it is one of nearly 2000 palestinians released as part of the exchange rate. dozens of hostages was set free by some us. however, he fears that he and other palestinians could easily be rounded up again and find themselves behind by the thought of. let us to indeed we were threatened even during our release problem, you know, finally interrogations. which shouldn't bet we were explicitly threatened with real risk. and i believe it is very likely any freed prisoner could be arrested again

under any pretext, under any charge for any reason. and i believe the main motivation for israel security agencies to rearrange tests, whether it's me or any other freed palestinian prisoner is the fundamental refusal to accept all release in the 1st place. in general, the purpose of imprisonment if we are to discuss the fundamental objective behind detention by the occupy ation, is to distance the palestinian individual or the palestinian citizen from the reality. from the social, political and struggle driven realities, placing them in prison for very long years with the i'm of controlling them and re shaping that consciousness in a way that aligns with the nature of the occupation itself. in other words, instilling in this palestinian individual a sense of deterrence so that they reach a stage where they are incapable of continuing that pos, the struggle that they had embarked on task achieving the process of neutralization . this is the fundamental goal. many aspects about palestinian society have changed

on the family levels. i lost my father and my brother and my sister while i was in prison. this for me, was suddenly a shocking reality to be released and not find the people you expected to see me. but this is something that carries a deeply human and profoundly tragic dimension. on the other hand, they have been many changes, even in people's awareness, in the broad political sense of the frustration that palestinians of feeling is tied to the political deadlock. for example, after 30 years of negotiations and agreements between the palestine liberation, organization and israel, they have be no tangible, concrete results to make palestinians feel they are truly on the verge of liberation from occupation. i'm closer to state to, i'm living like any of the people in the world. this is completely absent or every palestinian was happy for every release prisoner, even if i had no social personal connection to them, they were happy. why? because there is an essential human meaning behind it. there was also a political and national significance. people sold that something was being

achieved in one way or another, even if it was only a partial achievement the release of individual palestinian prism is it still carried hope that it could be a prelude to comprehensive national liberation as palestinians. to be honest, we just want to live in peace. this is our right. but there is no way to live in peace under occupation. no one can ever live in peace while being occupied. absolutely no ones. so we hope that will be a real and genuine piece. right now for the box the out here in moscow, where's the us house essentially shut down the money. you're trying to keep this being loaded with weapons cache and all sorts of other dia, washington, that is military industrial complex. well, the now looking for paying customers to pick up the slack and all piece is possibly on the table. the wall hopes in europe still seem ready to fund and fight the conflict. well, that's got the disturbing details on this now. some good investigative work with aunties donald cool. long time arrivals are finally talking. washington's new

leaders are offering new hope for change of decade of war and ukraine and peace finally seems to be on the horizon. but there are still plenty of people who just want to keep on telling, because there's a lot of money to be made, especially if you are to is the nay sayers of being russian shells. it could be compromised as a result of, of translators to direct the heads of their until the intelligence agencies to share information. maybe he wants to give, put in, you know, some type of insight into why we know certain things about what's going on inside of ukraine. or other places they accuse us of being a russian assets or puppets of putting it really is, is, is quite disgusting in my own view and, and really speaks to the influence that the warmongers, the military industrial complex has. they can't answer to really what president trump's call is for peace. so instead they throw out these smears and lies and accusations that i think the american people are seeing right through has more than

a few warmongers in brussels too. but there war machine can't function without washington's dine. and while the white house has been towing a more diverse line from se, always been looking to make a buck, he's telling you that if it wants to drag this out, it will have to foot the bill. and since europe's military industrial complex isn't capable of maintaining the current level of arms going to ukraine alone, brussels would have to start buying a whole lot of weapons from the us of a $200000000000.00 worth is what trump wants. and he's ready to give europe the green light, whether they decide to do that or not, the white house is also demanding that nato establish a membership fee. 5 percent of a country's total g d p. set aside for defense spending for anyone who wants to be part of the club, they don't have to pay more money. nato asked with a 5 percent. we are. we're in the grade. we're by $200000000.00 more than they know. it's ridiculous because it affects know

a lot more. we have an ocean in between and we're, we've spent $200000000000.00 more. you find that. notice that they've got to equalize 5 percent is actually colossal the us itself. it doesn't even meet that level with a bigger defense budget. then the next top 9 countries combined, the biggest european defense vendors aren't even close to that mark with germany at 1.5 percent of gdp, france at $2.00 and italy at $1.00, have a little less europe's hawk seem ready to rise to the occasion re, um europe coach, mobilize close to 800000000000 euros of defense expenditures for safe and resilient to europe. we will, of course, continue working closely with our partners in a 2. this is a moment for you. and we are ready to step off and the war machines,

wheels are already in motion. poland long argued for buying us weapons to send to ukraine with warsaw now signing a joint letter with the baltic states advocating the use of european funds to that effect from across the channel. the u. k. just struck a 30000000 pound deal with an anglo american company to supply ukraine with advanced attack drones. even nato secretary general is saying that your ups ready to keep on killing, even if it costs a lot more. relate to us also to stay involved and, and to do as much as possible to get to create that a positional strength and effort. these don't start, but i can tell that your opinions if this new template on station is remaining to keep on supply. and you creating this with defense, industrial form is defense, additional base. the bill will be paid by the europeans. and after the confidence of this, we have to be willing to do that piece or no piece, fly for more killing europe, getting with washington's program or not. no matter what trump is looking to come

out on top of that, trump is looking to keep the us dollar dominant in global trade. the rising power of be centralized crypto car, which is left him without any economic enemy to take a mad. so the modulator was hopping on the bandwagon. trump assigned an executive order establishing a national strategic crypto reserve, which he says will push washington to superpower status in the field of the digital tokens. a promise to make america the but going to be a power of the world and the crypto capital of the planet. and we're taking historic action to deliver on that promise as you know, around the table. yes, it is signed an executive order officially creating our strategic bid kline reserves. and this will be a virtual fort knox for digital gold to be housed within the united states treasury . it's a big thing, but that's drawing all contributor chris time is

a take this conversation about the head live on a program on how to international chris, a very well relevant to you may want us to call her. and if it says that he's got big pounds, has any problems go big plans clearly while he wants the american daughter to remain the wells result of current. so he now says that washington will become a bit coined super power. i'm trying to understand his motivation. i'm also trying to understand connie, have both the dollar as a don't want it was a car and see, and to be a bit coined superpower chris, a very, it's a really great question. i mean the, how the science of change, just something to the last, the ministration that it seemed it's a binding and he's so good, chris, chris, i see the credits. i talk to is the set up was trying to put everyone involved in cryptic are in jail. now it seemed though we invited to see it whitehouse and so yeah, it's interesting. right. i mean, big queen i've always said and go to you and i have a conversations about us. uh for many years now. i've always seen it as a big challenge, the us dollar. but i think what we're saying, which from, again,

we're seeing this movement away from the, the politics of idealism which, you know, has pretty much you know, range bouncing around the, around the west, the, the boss when he was, i used to the point 6 really. i think it's from realizes that the crimson currency, the head to stay and they all being use now to a huge extent around the world school, the movements of money. and that is a huge strength of us store. so i think his policies really look like we come be that we've got to try and find a way of joining. but again, really, it's very difficult to see how you control critic cases. they all, as you mentioned at the top of the top of this piece, they are the centralized and it by age. that means they are more that's impossible for government to control who can use the site again, weights and say i, i'm not sure who's going to be able to, you become the big queen king. and so you can kind of tell the whole industry, well, you know, he's a, it's going to go to his aspirations. no doubt about that,

chris. and what about, let me look, you know, is it accurate for me to say that the us was of crypt conference has been established with seized assets? is that accurate, chris? yeah, that's a good question really. so we haven't really got the color of the, of the details to me what it seems. i mean, the 1st thing you did in the typical sort of trauma in way is you know, 3 or 4 different crypt side currencies. that's what even big queen or seeing the domain and ones at the beginning that he put in that and looking at those currencies, united, this is again at just my opinions in my items. these are the ones that i would imagine friends of the president may be holding because none of them were particularly of particularly interested see the ordinary job like you in may or, or i'll be here. most of all use it might be the holidays and then the 2nd part he comes out with this. so just let me get with the see where they have they, you know, that these, these uh, these claims fall. of course, that was the biggest,

noticeable sell for all of these big queens many, many years ago now, which would go like that. the same is made as a capitalist of mine who to drive away evil because the silver probably big. so i'm not sure of where they how many left. so they've seen, and they say the, the, the us government seemed to sell them all to their friends are as cheap as possible when they do get hold of it. and so again, call when you get on to that question yet, but i would imagine that they have been who would be something that they would have taken on the bike and fits like hospitals from may be actually from some of the people that trump invited to to yesterday. i interesting. yeah, good point. good point, chris. what about from saying that america will become a bit coins, super power. it will also become the crypt. so capital of the world. i mean, what does that mean to you, chris? to yeah, i mean really one on one side that's a very positive sick and i'll take while, if you look at the myself,

i themselves file, if they see the way that the us c c 's is pretty much the, the advantage and if you like, oh, crypt occurrences has the shoes in the industry and access within it basically instead of regulates the industry, prosecute, seeking the industry. so been trying to take hold in advice and i'm putting anyone that comes up with the smallest idea. we try to do something in the bits of, of interest in, in jail. i mean it's a good things, top pod and russell, great to was the, embeds with the silver as you go, a would teach this whole life sentence for essentially, in my opinion, building a website and being very young and not even at the time of doing it and he's now the, the, the guys being held without files and go to nato tass. again, this is a kind of a technology that normalizes for it takes hundreds actions. again, no drug be this themselves in any way, shape, because technologist, that didn't have any regular to barriers that allow them really to walk right and

know where they could push and where they could is. so that's a good thing. and one side on the other side, again, really when we looked at the, it depends on how this regulation is been running in. he said to reduce it, assuming he regulation is going to be written to benefit the people that the crypto guys that are lazy to the term campaigns eclipse. so guys that are going tomorrow is also of the weekend and having dinner with the president. so the great thing is to recognize that says no big we've been approaching this whole industry in the wrong way, and we should not just the will of the do we just going to make up some random rules that's. that's another thing. so we just really have to see how this plays out, whether they actually build something which is, which is the tip of the world and the industry involved. and just for the select few in the white house for the coming up with these ideas. yeah, fair play could come and chris say this not i meant to get out of here on this. it is crypto. really the digital gold for, for example,

what does that do to the value of real gold? i mean, do you think gold is now going to become a relic of the past or who did out last everything like it will it has done for the past 5000. yeah. yeah. it is a great place to go read it. and one that we've, we've engaged united to use and it's always been fascinating to discuss it with you . and i think that the goal dispatch to say, i mean it is, it is, it is the gold standard. the commodities down the in terms of crisis, especially in economies and invest as well too. i think between i've always said he's just another from a digital goal. that's a big what is different than a lot of other crypto cards. these, there's a finite amount of bit coins. i see it as a commodity. i think most of the lights is involved in the financial institutions. now seeing it as a commodity. i think it's an assets also decided to just contribute precious metals and go i don't think he gets rid of it anyway. i just think it's another exciting that well, i guess it's not even that you any more, but it was when i started new

a new commodity the people to start to investigate that. it's actually exactly all contributor chris adams, sharing his weekend with us here at austin international. always appreciate a chance to pick your brain. chris, thank you very much for your time. thanks lori. thank you us. well, meantime you're just talking about gold. you're say chris was well, just keep in mind, you know, trump and, and what he learned must be one audit for adults. for adults squared america keeps most of its gold either in for adults or up in new york is the gold steel in full knox. we'll let you know when we find out the details here and how to international . as always, we come to live from the heart of the russian capital, the the

action or tendency, and welcome to going underground rule. gusting all around the world from the hearts of the middle east, where israel to the teeth by donald trump, has launched a renewed siege and its genocidal war and gaza. that when most of the world looks to the global economic superpower, china, which far at strips the usa and g d, p by p b. today's the 3rd plenary, the 14th communist national people's congress, setting a growth targets a 5 percent and increases in war spending by 7.2 percent. why the war spending arguably because of the old world? just days after a london, somebody's kicks off a decision by european that leads to a home for war on russia. and a total of trump spoke to both houses of congress, doubling down on his desire for peace. the you mentioned brussels, the extraordinary meeting with you and leads to arrange the impoverishment them. you populations in the pursuit of war that as washington and moscow organized

restoration of diplomatic relations, direct flights and easing of sanctions. joining me now is the daily former bp you along side mike wallace with array of voice in the early in parliament against nature, militarism. she joins me now from killed there in ireland. class. thank so much for coming back on. i love this strange companies newspaper, the financial times breathlessly talking as it has all week about the prospect for more, more spending in europe. and since you are in island or in brussels, where you're normally when you were the european parliament hi, business style by just asking you. it says the islands, foreign minister said yesterday, the militarily neutral, neutral nation will not be found. one thing over any future european peacekeeping mission in ukraine even talks about the cabinet bill from the t shirts and previous t shore consisting in no way undermines islands commitment to the.
